  1. Hello Holly I love your blog and all of the thrifty ideas. I was wondering if you would be interested in a button swap. I'm new to this but my blog is rapidly growing. Have a great day.

  2. Hi Holly,
    Just discovered your blog and LOVE it! I too love thrifting and flea markets. I saw the flea market finds with the old PA license plates - do you live in PA? I grew up there and am in NJ now.

  3. Holly- I have never been into reading blogs or pinterest until tonight. I saw your laundry room with the hangers idea and absolutely loved it and decided to check out your blog and I LOVE it. If I can find the hangers and do it as well as you, I'm definitely going to steal your idea. Thanks so much for sharing!!

  7. Hi Holly!
    Greetings from Africa! Stumbled upon your blog while dreaming of decorating my home in the USA... (A bit homesick!). I'm inspired by your fantastic bold colors and already have a list of 'Holly' inspired projects!
    One question, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your dining table. Was it a thrift store find or did you buy it new? Can you send more pics of it? THANK YOU!

  21. Holly, do you have any fabulous ideas for up-cycling Longaberger baskets. I have so many and they are not worth much in value, so I would like to make them more trendy. Any suggestions?

      -collection on dining table for centerpiece...maybe filled with mason jars & fresh flowers
      -depending on size, possible receptables for organizing closets, drawers, pantry or crafts

  22. Holly,
    I have a black leather(?) and metal futon that is extremely uncomfortable and very boring. I can't bring myself to get rid of it, so I desperately want to find new life for it. We currently have it dressed up as a very uncomfortable bed (and covered in laundry waiting to be folded) but I thought I'd ask around for some ideas. Here's a link with a picture of it: http://www.amazon.com/Dorel-Home-Products-Delaney-Sleeper/dp/B004LQ1QN4/?qid=1316562857&ref=sr_1_13&ie=UTF8&sr=8-13 What would you do?

    1. Have you tried dressing it up with some fun pillows? Urban Outfitters always have some fun ones...or if you wanna splurge, go for Anthropologie- you won't ever go wrong there. Pillows really work wonders!!

  27. Hi Holly,

    I just love your laundry room. You are very creative in your ideas. I am interested in making some changes to my laundry room and need to know if you purchased the short white rod to the right of your picture. I would love that to hang my hangers on. Please let me know the information about that white rod. I would thoroughly appreciate it. Thanks, Mimi.

  33. Hi Holly
    This is a random question but I am looking for a creative way to document my 2 year old daughters growth on the wall each year. I don't want to just buy one of those pre made ones you can use. I wanted something more creative. Do you use anything or have any ideas? THanks Christy Delany-Richardson

  36. Hi Holly,
    I love your blog. Most of all, I love that you appreciate the creative talents of women of the past. Every time I see an intricately crocheted bedspread or tablecloth or afghan in an antique store (being sold for a pittance), I think of the woman who lovingly created it for someone special. It breaks my heart for it to have ended up there.............but then along comes someone like you who APPRECIATES the hard work and love that went into it!!!!!

  37. You might find this E-book called “What to Look For at Thrift Stores” valuable. It’s a very valuable list of high-end clothiers, shoemakers, fashion houses and designers. I thought I knew a lot until I read this. It’ll help you find and identify luxury brands and goods. What a find! It’s available on Kindle. Worth 10 times the cost on your first visit.
